LOS ANGELES – A National Public Radio affiliate has offered to reinstate a commentator fired after an obscenity aired on her show, but Sandra Tsing Loh said she would not resume taping “The Loh Life.”

Loh, an author and actress known for her monologues on the Santa Monica-based station and Minnesota Public Radio’s “Marketplace,” used the four-letter word during a pre-taped segment that aired twice Feb. 29 in Southern California.

The station’s general manager, Ruth Seymour, fired her the next day, saying use of the word violated federal broadcast law and the station’s policy on language.

Loh has said she never intended for the word to go on the air. She told her engineer to bleep the word before the commentary aired, she said.

Loh and KCRW issued a joint statement Monday saying the station had reversed its decision to fire Loh, but that she had turned down an invitation to resume her show.

“I appreciate the station’s willingness to acknowledge that it was wrong to cancel my show … And while I do wish KCRW well, I personally don’t think I could be comfortable working there anymore,” Loh said in the statement.

Seymour apologized for the firing.

“When I made the decision to cancel ‘The Loh Life,’ I was not in possession of all the facts regarding this unfortunate incident,” Seymour said in the statement.

Loh was the latest radio personality to be pulled off the air over such programming issues.

Commercial radio company Clear Channel recently fired a Florida disc jockey known as “Bubba the Love Sponge” and took shock jock Howard Stern off the six Clear Channel stations that broadcast his show due to sexually graphic content.

Loh will remain as a periodic commentator on “Marketplace,” said J.J. Yore, the show’s executive producer.
